I make it every few weeks. It's pretty easy stuff. I put in some peppers first and cut up a kielbasa while they're cooking, and then throw in the kielbasa. Sometimes I do some cut up chicken first though. After putting in the kielbasa I let that go for several minutes and then add the rice and chicken broth. Bring it to a boil. Once it's boiling, turn it down to simmer for 20 minutes and throw in some cayenne pepper, but go easy on it.

After about 10 minutes I throw in some diced onion and celery. I warm the onion and celery in the microwave for a minute before I throw it in so it doesn't bring the temperatute down too much. Then sometimes I cook some cut up shrimp in a separate pan and throw that in with just a couple minutes to go.

Just put leftovers in a resealable container in the fridge and you can serve it several times.
